Hardware to run Qwen3-4B
Weights need about 9 GB at FP16, 5 GB at INT8 and 3 GB at INT4. The KV cache adds roughly 147 MB per 1,000 tokens per request. For a reference workload of 5 requests per second with 1,500 input and 300 output tokens, total GPU memory is around 4.1 GB, which fits on 1 × NVIDIA A100 (80 GB).
